Good lord that is full of squee - too adorable. I know sea otters; less river otters. But I would guess the rocks are warm and feel good against its fur, nose, etc. It is not try to use them as tools, the way sea otters crack shells with rocks… ---

But I would guess the rocks are warm and feel good against its fur, nose, etc. It is not try to use them as tools, the way sea otters crack shells with rocks… Yeah, he probably heard about hot rock massages and was giving it a try. If you think that was squee-ey, try the video with the otters holding hands. ---

My God that was all kinds of cute. Now I wish I had an otter of my very own, so I could watch it play with pebbles. ---

They’re cute, all right, but you might want to think twice about having an otter as a pet. [Pet Otters - Ferrets On Crack](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ_Krei6EKw). ---

It was cute, but why in reverse? To make it look like he was juggling, whereas he was just tossing them about in real life? ---
